Wings wiggle? Have I missed a wingflex update? The amraam wiggle has been in the sim for quite some time.

Who isn't?

Onwards and upwards.

Y' haven't used the Fox 3s this week have you?

@@AdamWalkLikeSuicide That's not really Viper specific though

@@777coletrain ; Affects her disproportionately though as only the F-16A Blk 15 ADF, TWN F-16A Blk 20 and IRQ F-16IQ had AIM-7 capability.

@@HowIsAsh some people just want to be able to simulate 1980s F16 piloting.

@@FirstDagger Taiwanese F-16As also carried AIM-7

Viper Pilot is such an awesome read! 👍

I absolutely tried that the night I read the book...it’s interesting to say the least.

THANK YOU!!!!!

@@realQuiGon Thanks, I would have been flying into the invisible wall.

When he changes steer point he is still slewed away from the steer point that's why he had to press the button to sleew back to the new steer point

think of it like this: there's always a point of reference, and optionally an offset from said point. Initially you have the pod pointing at a steerpoint (SP), and that SP is the point of reference. When you move the pod, the reference point is still the SP, the reference point does not change, but now the system knows you want to look at some offset *from* that reference point. So now you are looking at: reference point (still the SP) + some offset. When after that you change the active SP you are just changing the reference point. But the offset is still there. So the system still thinks you want to look at some offset with respect to your reference point, which is now a new SP. So now you are looking at: reference point (the new SP) + some offset (same offset than before, unchanged). With the CZ button you remove that offset. So the system now points directly at the reference point (which is the second SP).

For example: If you slew off steerpoint 1 and then change to steerpoint 2, the slew created off steerpoint 1 is carried to steerpoint 2. Cursor Zero (CZ) removes the offset off the steerpoint.

When he slewed from his starting steerpoint to the target, it created an offset in his sensors so they were looking X distance in Y direction from the steerpoint. That offset stays when you select another steerpoint, so when he selected the markpoint it was applying the earlier offset to the new waypoint. So say for example you slew 1000 feet north of a steerpoint, create a markpoint at that spot, then select the markpoint as your steerpoint, your TGP will look 1000 feet north of the markpoint unless you hit cursor zero first.

Thank you very much all of you ! Didn't expect so many great explanations :) I do understand it much better now !

Weather, range, and GMT.

You can appreciate the ground radar when you try to complete the "Above the clouds" instant action mission for F/A-18. Your target is a transport ship at iranian coast and its location is random. The only way is to use ground radar mode, make SPI and drop JDAMs thtough a dense layer of clouds.

When you forgot to bring a TGP…ask me how I know that.

Yes, it's stationary, but its position is random. According to the mossion briefing, cargo unloading is in progress.

Have you figured this out because I can’t. Lol. So frustrating

@@commanderstud2417 ..Did you figure this out? This is what Im searching tutorials for right now, a way to delete and/or overwrite the mark points once theyre set...

Including a teaser for both AN/ALQ-131 and AN/ALQ-184. And a comment from Wags that AN/ALQ-184 long version is in works for both Viper and Hog.

I wish they add the Khark island with its oil facilities.

@@jakubdabrowski3846 I was hoping for Desert Storm area

1- Yes, in game. 2- Correct as is and why going FRZ is a good choice.

Yes. Yellow cross.

@@MattWagner You guys are really doing a fantastic job over there at ED. I just bought the Viper and I'm having a blast learning everything slowly as it's my first high fidelity module. I look forward to getting the Apache once I'm comfortable with this and hopefully in the next 2-3 years we might see a high fidelity F15E(or EX) from you and the amazing company ;)

It can, the functionality simply changed.

@@MattWagner Where to look it up?

Dobber down to man/auto and hit 0/M-sel - workes like a charm

@@Maverick72nd Will try that, thank you! 🙏🙏

Please see video description text.

@@MattWagner Cheers Wags

See About of my channel.

Yea

@@MattWagner i remember col. Dan Hampton described such an usage of markpoint in F-16 during his CAS action in Iraq during a sand storm....

ECM Pod, ALQ-131 / 184

See About section of my channel.

In "Western Iraq" ?

Yes. Apologies, I was a bit rushed and left that option out.

@@MattWagner Great Thanks! Please keep up with this recent new features video rate but please post them just before the update itself so I do not have to check new version every other hour :) Also, are those markpoints, along with other steerpoints shareable with flight members?

Thinking Syria was done by an outside source would Wags be the one to announce it? They added Cypress but I've heard nothing about further additions -- although the location ("Western Iraq") does coincide with this map. Perhaps more hints later. Me personally hope its for PG as that entire region is devoid -- Qatar and Bahrain could have been added, as well as "Southern Iraq" as far as I'm concerned.

Yea

Yes, it's in work for both the Viper and A-10C.

@@MattWagner Awesome! I'm really excited for that one

@@777coletrain Why? It's not that it can be properly modeled...

@@getsideways7257 it just looks way better and a viper set up for SEAD just looks weird without it IMO

Nope he was in tv mode.

You should only use steerpoints 1 to 25 for navigation.

Create Doppler beam shift.

This is correct.

Yes, please video description.

@@MattWagner thank you, sir, and apologies, I was watching on mobile.

His throttle axis is jittering a bit on the afterburner detent. Going into afterburner over the detent makes a noise and if you keep moving your throttle over it it'll do that

Thinking about the same, not sure. Maybe thats why he didnt zoom in that much?

ED said they will upgrade FLIR technology for all modules when the Apache comes out

Check again, was in TV mode the entire time.

@@jarhead1145 Yeah copy, just got the confirmation from a redditor haha

After the instructions for the new Viper features.

Thx Sir

Please make sure you are using the current open beta.

@@MattWagner ok. it is not. Thanks for your intrest!!

@@MattWagner updated to open beta still doesn’t work….tms up don’t shows transfered coordinates TO DED from any sensor………

I just tested and no such issue here. Please use our forum to post a track so we can see where you are going wrong.

@@MattWagner I uploaded to F16 forum but right now only showed slow scan with azimuth 10 degree in DBS, compared to how fast it is in the video, and the inability to change azimuth in DBS1 and 2.

@@MattWagner you must be using an older version in the video and when you tested. I posted in the forum and it was confirmed that adjusting azimuth in DSB1-2 is not accurate and was corrected in an update. The scan speed shown in your video for DSB also cannot be replicated so I can only assume that changed in an update.

Yes, they wrap.

That's good to hear, I usually use the whole alphabet in the Warthog lol. I have a slight obsession with them

@@lankypilot778 you make soup out of them their tanks with the gau8? See what I did there? No? Ok I'll see myself out :-( lol

You have 5 markpoints. 26-30.

there's precious few real world examples, and from all that I can gather, the bulk of these wars, maybe desert storm / shield and so forth, revolved around Air vs SAM... That said, if you can find one example of a pilot interview somewhere describing using his radar to find/locate actual ground targets (vs backup on waypoints like rivers/cities etc) I'd love to hear it

@@CameTo i read 2 books. both on the first gulf war. 1 a10, 1 f16 pilot. and every engagement they mentioned was either steer point, using mav seeker, or mk1 eyeball to find targets. never a mention of the radar.

@@sinsley1 thanks for that. This sounds in keeping with any interview I've heard also.

Western Iraq.

I think its Western Iraq

Google the Coords

Ugra Media has build a Western extension on Syria map.

Looks like we will be getting H3 airbase. Hopefully Dier Ez Zor as well

well spotted on that ECM pod! Waggs does like his little teasers in plain sight... He'd make a great sales rep for a company that's trying to sell products to an audience that watches his videos :P

@@CameTo He kind of is sales rep

You can. Marks are indicated as yellow crosses on the HSD that can be selected with the HSD cursor.

I dont think there is functionality to create waypoints from tgp or radar designations in the hornet. I might (hope to) be wrong tho

@@ttopiass Im talking about designating specific targets using the "Freeze" mode and employing precision weapons on target.

I saw the Open Beta changelog. Waiting for migration to stable version. Thanks ED!

Yes

They'll be added later (in the description)

ICP WARN switch

@@MattWagner Thank you.
